Hi Tina...

This is the strongest of the three dog photos in your portfolio. The setting is excellent but the light is also a bit strong as well. Your composition here is better because the subject (CJ) is positioned nicely off center in the frame. I'm not sure how much you know about the 'rule of thirds' but it's definitely something that you will want to familiarize yourself with if you are not already aware of it...

Rule Of Thirds

This photo could also benefit from some post processing that we can discuss a little later :)

Hi Tina...

I scored this photo a 6, which means it's slightly above an avarage photo, but not much. The scene you chose here is nice, but there is nothing of particularly strong interest to look at. It is a simple outdoor landscape scene with no strong focal point for the viewer. I don't know how this particular scene could be improved much, especially under the rules of this particular challenge. A scene like this one often takes a bit of 'time of day' research to determine when the best LIGHT is for the shot :) Photography is all about looking for the light. The light will determine whether a scene like this one is strong or just mediocre :)

Marion, this is an excellent photograph... I saw this one over at DA and I loved it there too... The color tone here is just phenomenal. That curve just does something that I can't really explain but I like it :) Excellent work as usual...

I think this is a beautiful composition but it may be just a tad underexposed for my taste. I'm not sure if it's underexposure or maybe just an overall lack of contrast, but the monument choice here is beautiful :) = 9

i think the choice to forget white balance in this shot doesn't really work well for me... I don't see how the yellow tint is adding to the idea...
